Bio
Hervé Pereyrol
During the time that I worked with Nicola at ILIM, an Irish Investment Bank that was embarking on an Operational Excellence program using Lean Six Sigma. Nicola demonstrated personal initiative, professional thoroughness and enthusiasm for the project’s success that make her a very strong contributor. Her solutions and approach to improving systems and processes were efficient and creative. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicola for any financial services role knowing that she has also a Continuous Improvement mindset to improve your processes.
